Description:

Georg Solti leads this performance with commanding presence, drawing a spacious yet articulate reading from the orchestra. His pacing is deliberate, never sluggish, and his attention to phrasing and detail feels deeply tied to the dramatic arc of the work. Among the singers, Gottlob Frick offers an impressive Gurnemanz, his authoritative bass colored with surprising tonal warmth. Fritz Uhl, in the title role, acquits himself vocally with clarity and strength, although his somewhat stiff dramatic presence creates a degree of detachment from the unfolding narrative. Amy Shuard makes a vivid impression as Kundry, shifting persuasively between seduction and anguish.
